Canadian women’s hockey captain, Marie-Philip Poulin, suffered a knee injury during an Olympic match against Czechia, forcing her out of the game. The incident occurred in the first period when she was checked by an opponent and had to leave the ice in discomfort. Despite briefly returning during a power play, Poulin was unable to continue and was officially ruled out before the third period.
Poulin, known for her prolific goal-scoring abilities, has been a key player for Team Canada in multiple Olympic games, including winning gold three times in her career. Her absence from the game raises concerns as Canada prepares to face Team USA in an upcoming match.
